In my latest order from MUA I bought the Undressed palette as I was looking for a neutral palette,kinda similar to UD Naked, that would have at least 2 matt colors and I found the Undressed Palette.
Before I buy it,I did some research and found couple girls to compare this one to UD Naked. After seeing some swatches of these two together I just couldn't believe how similar the look on the picture. Unfortunately I can't say myself whenever they are or not similar as I don't have the Naked but what can I say is that I'm definitely impressed with this palette. Let's have a look on some more pictures and swatches.

( I used tiny amount of elf eyelid primer )
The packaging is the standar MUA packaging, black plastic case with transparent lid. The transparent lid is something that I love as I don't have to open the palette to see what shades are in it. It also comes with double ended sponge brush which good for sponge brush but useless to me as I prefer brushes.
As you can see the shimmery shades are very pigmented but the matt ones not that much which is something usual with matt shades. They apply and blend beautifully and easily but they are a little bit powdery and you might see some fallout with some shades. Even though the matt shades aren't super pigmented with an eyeshadow primer and/or eyeshadow base you will get a very good pay off.
I'm really happy with the color range. You can achieve lots of neutral looks with this palette alone.
I really like the matt shades as they great to blend out the eyeshadow. I ran out of the eyeshadow I've been using for blending out ( the 3rd eyeshadow from the NYX Nude on Nude) so I'm happy I have these matt shades to do the blending.
The eyeshadows have good lasting power with eyeshadow primer. I never wear eyeshadows without primer so I don't know the lasting power without primer but definitely they won't last that long.
Also something that some might have missed is that on the back of the palette MUA always has mini eye tutorial, here's a picture of the back.
Overall I think this is a great buy for someone who loves neutral colors. I only wish that the matt shade were a bit more pigmented. I don't mind the small amount of faulout as I always do my eyes first and then the rest of my face so I can wipe off any fallout easily. The only negative I found about this palette is that it does contain parabens but other than that for £4 you can't really go wrong with this palette.
Overall rating: 4.5/5
Would I buy it again: Of course
I already have an eye makeup using this palette here and will post few more in future too :)
